Chapter Twenty-Seven: Arrival in Jingzhou
Su Minxing pointed his sword at the assassin on the ground, his sword eyebrows raised, and he said sharply: "Say! Who sent you?" ”
The Assassin was mortally wounded and fell to the ground, smiling sneeringly, "I won't tell you!" and was about to bite through the poison hidden in his teeth.
Seeing through his intentions, Xiao Yunmi ripped off the masked man's face towel, pinched his chin with his hand, and with a click, removed the assassin's chin.
The Assassin had a tattoo of an eagle's head on the left side of his face, and Xiao Yunmi stuck his sword next to the Assassin's face, right next to his face. She slapped the assassin's face lightly with her hand and sneered, "It's too cheap for you to die like this, say, Who is the adult in your mouth?"
Ning Zi saw the tattoo on the assassin's face, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward and whispered in Xiao Yunmi's ear: "Miss, this is the dead man of the Xiao family, I know the tattoo on his face." "This pattern Ning Zi is known, she has entered the Xiao family's secret guard camp since she was a child, and the master who taught them is the leader of the Xiao family's dead soldiers, and he also has such a pattern on his face, and she later learned that this eagle head tattoo is the symbol of the Xiao family's dead soldiers.
Xiao Yunmi rubbed his eyebrows, full of annoyance, pulled out the sword on the ground, and slashed the throat of the assassin on the ground with a single sword, the movement did not stop, it was as clean as if it had been practiced thousands of times.
Su Minxing frowned, Xiao Yunmi seemed to have countless secrets. He was really getting more and more curious about Xiao Yunmi, he threw the sword in his hand on the ground, walked to Xiao Yunmi's side, and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
As soon as the words came out, Su Minxing saw that Xiao Yunmi's sleeve was torn, a knife cut on his arm, and most of the dark sleeves were wet with blood.
Su Minxing's eyes darkened, and it could be seen that Xiao Yunmi's expression was still as usual, and he seriously doubted whether Xiao Yunmi had any pain.
Xiao Yunmi didn't notice Su Minxing's gaze, she took the handkerchief handed by Ning Zi with one hand, and carefully wiped the blood stains on the sword. Mingyun's sword was wiped clean and glowing with light, and she threw the handkerchief to the ground, just to cover the assassin's face.
Ever since he knew the origin of the Xiaoyun Sword, Su Minxing hated the owner of the sword, and even hated the sword. Seeing Xiao Yunmi's sword polishing so seriously, he felt uncomfortable. Pantothenic said in a sour tone: "What is there to rub with a broken sword." ”
Xiao Yunmi put the sword into the scabbard and looked at him coldly. Ning Yuan had just seen the appearance of Xiaoyun looking for killing, as if he was a ghost harvesting human lives.
No, it's a living Hades!
He stood aside weakly and shuddered, thinking that his young master's taste was really different.
Xiaoyun laughed mockingly, pointing to the cold corpse on the ground.
"Xiaowu's people, he is really anxious, afraid that we will go to Jingzhou to find evidence, and it will be like killing us halfway. ”
Su Minxing also thought in his heart that Xiao Wu did it, so he took out medicine and bandages from the baggage on his horse and bandaged the wound on Xiao Yunmi's arm.
"This is not far from Jingzhou, and you should be able to reach Jingzhou in the evening. Since the palace was built in Jingzhou, the prefect would definitely leave the account books of the palace built at that time, and as long as the account books were found to prove that General Xiao was not corrupt or bribed, all the problems would be solved. ”
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly seemed to think of something, and their hearts clicked at the same time.
If Xiao Wu dared to send a dead soldier to rob and kill them on the road, he would definitely send someone to the Jingzhou prefect to get the account book!
Su Minxing's face was solemn, and he helped Xiao Yunmi treat the wound on his arm a few times.
"Let's go!"
Jingzhou is known as the first town in the East Jun country with its dangerous, steep, strange and beautiful scenery. There is the majestic Wenfeng Pagoda, as well as orchards and sweet and sour bayberry wine.
The environment is very beautiful, it is said that Emperor Taizu and the Queen Mother met here, so the palace was built in Jingzhou later.
Xiao Yunmi and Su Minxing didn't even have lunch, so they kept hurrying. It was not until dusk in the afternoon that they arrived in Jingzhou, and their group was too dazzling, and they could smell the smell of blood emanating from their bodies from afar, and there was still a dried blood stain on Xiao Yunmi's face, and Su Minxing's robe was also splashed with blood.
The pedestrians on the road all shy away from them, and when they reached the Jingzhou gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.
The leader of the soldiers, who led them, looked at them suspiciously. This group of people is covered in blood, I'm afraid it's not some Jiangyang thief, right?
He shouted at the people on the horse and asked, "Who are you? What is the matter with coming to Jingzhou? Why are you covered in blood!"
As soon as he returned to Sufu that day, the emperor sent someone to Su Minhang to send a Qincha token, but he didn't expect it to be used at this time. Su Minxing took out the token from his arms and handed it to the soldier.
"I am a messenger sent by the emperor to investigate the collapse of the Jingzhou Palace. The attack on the road was only then stained with blood, and the situation was urgent, so quickly take us to the county government to find the Jingzhou prefect. ”
The soldier took the token and looked through it carefully, and only after confirming that it was correct, he was released. He returned the token to Su Minhang with both hands, and flattered him to the end: "It turned out to be Lord Qincha, the villain really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so his subordinates will take Lord Qincha to the county office." ”
The soldier went to lead a horse, and he got on the horse and led the way for Su Minhang and his party in front.
Xiao Yunmi sat on the horse, glanced at Su Minxing, and asked, "When the emperor gave you the gold medal, why don't I know." ”
Su Minxing's eyebrows were raised, and his red lips were hooked. Said gently: "When I went back from the palace that day, I entered the mansion with my front foot, and my father-in-law who gave the gold medal came with my back foot." ”
The twilight sun turned yellow, shining on Su Minxing, the more his silhouette seemed to be carved from ice, handsome and unparalleled.
Xiao Yunmi looked at his good-looking side face and asked, "Didn't you say that you don't want to be an official? Why are you still wading into this troubled water?"
Su Minxing touched his chin with one hand and looked at Xiao Yunmi fixedly, why? Isn't his intention obvious?
Xiao Yunmi looked at Su Minxing's gaze, and the panic in his heart immediately moved away. Su Minxing said softly: "I'm bored, find something to do." ”
Without thinking about the truth of his words, Xiaoyun Miao let out an inaudible "um".
When the county government arrived, and when the soldiers led them in, a middle-aged man passed by them.
Su Minxing glanced back, the man had calluses on his mouth, because he often practiced swords, this person was a person who practiced martial arts. The clothes are simple and inconspicuous, but the material is fine satin, which is a new fabric from Zhilanzhuang in the capital.
Just at a glance, Su Minhang concluded that this person was from the capital, and he secretly screamed in his heart, not good!
He grabbed the soldier's collar and said eagerly, "Where is the prefect's study?"
Seeing his sudden change in face and trembling legs, the soldier pointed to the road ahead and said, "Turn left ahead." ”
Su Minxing put down his hand and pulled Xiaoyunmi to the study. Ning Zi and Ning Yuan jogged and followed behind them.
Xiao Yun looked anxious when he saw him, and wondered, "What's wrong?"
Su Minxing didn't have time to explain to her, so he pulled him to the door of the study. I kicked the door open, and before I could enter, I smelled the burnt smell of the book.
Su Minxing was shocked in his heart, it was over. It's always a step too late.
